How to post images in your threads
 

To post a photo, you must get the url (web-accessible path, something like http://www.bananas.org/images/editor/insertimage.gif) to the image on your computer's clipboard. To do that, right click the photo you wish to post, select 'properties' - then in the box that appears, you will see the url (location) of the image. Double click that link to select all, or drag your mouse across it to highlight it, then copy that link to your clipboard with a Ctrl+C or another right click and select 'copy'. Come back here and type out your post, then click the little icon that looks like a mountain range with a sunset. It looks like this Thats the tool to help post images. It will prompt you for the address of the image, it's already copied to your clipboard. So Ctrl+V to paste it in there (or right click and select 'paste') and presto, your image is ready to post. Preview your entire post to make sure it formatted everything properly before you click submit.

Another way is to paste the URL to the image and surround it with [ img ] (means open image) and [ /img ] (means close image), like this:
The sunset image tool basically streamlines this same process with the [ img ] [ / img ] tags.


Hope this helps!

If you want to test it out, try and copy this code and paste it in a post to see what happens.

Should show up like this:

Can we resize the images in the code?






Apparently not

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

Mike,
Unfortunately, you can't specify image dimensions when posting pictures.
The images will only show up in their native dimensions.
HOWEVER, the good news is that our photo gallery will do some resizing for you. The site will A) create a thumbnail of your image, B) resize it so it shows on the screen without overlapping when people view the gallery, and C) save it in its regular size, the way it was uploaded.

I saved your picture to my hard drive, then uploaded it to your gallery. Here's what we have now:

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that we could do it in code since I don't always upload all pics to my gallery. For other purposes - ebay etc., it is nice to not have the bananas.org watermark.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

Another way to easily post images
if you have Mozilla, Sea Monkey, or any other flavor of Netscape / Firefox -

If you are on a webpage that has the picture - such as your gallery here,
drag your cursor over the image(s) to select it(them) then right click and select "copy" (or hold the control key and hit c to copy) to your clipboard.

Then come back here to the posting page and put your cursor in the post message box and hit ctrl+V to paste whatever is on your clipboard into the message.
Viola.
This is probably the easiest and fastest way to post images.

I have not yet tested this method with the Internet Explorer browser, it may even work with that (if not now) by the time you read this.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

New feature to make it even easier to post images! :drum:
To post a photo from your gallery, visit the page with the photo, and underneath it, you will see a box like this:


Place your cursor in this box, right click and select "copy"
now you have the code perfectly formatted to post in your thread
Just visit the posting page where you want to post your message,
place your cursor in the wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) editor (the window where you type your message), and either click Edit -> paste
or hold the Ctrl key while mashing the letter V (Ctrl+V) to paste your image code.
Now click the preview button.
You should see your image appear in the preview. Now, if you are happy, click to post your message, or click to keep editing and previewing before you post everything the way you like it.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

I've just modified this to now also include a link to the photo as it appears in the gallery. So all your images that you post using this method will take people who click on the image to the gallery, where they can view more photos of yours, or they can click the keyword for the photo to see even more photos of the same type of plant.

Check it out,

bam
click that photo of AnnaJW's Kru

under the photo on the page that appears is some code, like in this image

(thats what you copy to paste into your posts in the forum)

AND under that is an area showing this:

Keywords: Kru
Click it and find more photos of "Kru".
So now when people see your images on the forums, when they click them, they have the ability to dig even deeper into the site to find even more related photos. Or they can do one of many other options for research once they land in the gallery.
I think this "Keywords: Kru" feature may be overlooked, or that it's just not used as often by so many folks. When your on a photo, try digging into the keywords that are displayed. Have fun with it!

Hope you enjoy the new changes!

Hi MediaHound!, This is Mauro Gibo, I still didn't get it, how to post pictures in the forum. I'm computer illiterate! Sorry, I'm wating for my son to help me. But as he is always busy working I have to wait for awhile. Thanks anyway.
Until I get the knowlege of posting pictures I continue making videos to show you guys my plants and a little bit of Japan. Here is video I made for Richard:
Dailymotion - Food for the Birds, Japanese Persimmons, a video from mauro-gibo. kaki, caqui, Japanese, Persimmon, birds
I think Richard is interested in air layering the kaki, Japanese Persimmon. Here in Japan it grows, blooms and bear fruits everywhere. It was brought to Japan centuries ago from South Korea and North China. We propagate it by grafting, but its growth is very slow. I planted many grafted seedlings in my orchard about 7 or 8 years ago and they are still small. I will try to air layer them here, 'cause we got the proper climate just like its natural habitat. Thanks. Hope to hear from you guys soon.
Mauro the Insistent Banana grower who lacks some screws in his head. Bye.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!

WOW I don't mean to overreact but I've been trying to comment/rate/upload photos for weeks and couldn't do it, and I've emailed people and posted on threads and submitted feedback and posted on threads and nothing, and then finally you dump this big bowl of awesome in my lap :)

I truly say that you have made my day Jarred :woohoonaner:

Thank you again. I don't know why this took so long to get resolved (this is my second time posting here lol) but I am really glad it is. I feel like I've been let out of prison after a long sentence and now have a whole world waiting for me lol. :D

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

Why does the website tell me the picture is downloading then it does not? No further messages, and no picture. Why should I bother?

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

I have tried uploading an image to my gallery, so I can post in a thread- it says "uploaded successfully", but then I cannot see the photo in the gallery- any ideas? thanks

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

First Upload / submit button

when it says "Your image was uploaded successfully!", you will have new button Process

(If not working maybe the picture is too "big")

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

I don't see "process" anywhere
I took pic from iphone, then uploaded to mac
I am fairly computer literate, not sure why this is so difficult-thanks again

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

then:


1- BRowse (=Parcourir) into your mac computer files to find your pic.

After you can :

2- Upload/Submit

Then you'll have a new screen with Process button, press it.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

Thanks- I just can't seem to get this to work- the steps are easy enough, but the picture does not show up- although it states "uploaded successfully"- is anyone else using a Mac- any times- I took photo with iphone and am trying t upload out of iphoto- I have tried moving image to desktop, same issue- thanks for any help:2738:

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

That worked!! Thanks so much!! Now I may find out what type of nana this is- thanks again! Ken

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

OK, NOW I got it! I have to copy the "entire" url and REPLACE the shaded "http://" in the box with what I copied.

oy!

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

How can I enlarge the size of the photos? All the photos I see that are being posted fill the post but whenever I insert a photo it is small, how do I fix this?

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

the size i use for pics is 800 width :

(i use imageshack to host this one)

do you have an example of your picture size?


or maybe you take the thumbnail code:


instead of Code for bulletin boards:

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

You really helped me with posting the "right" pictures but now I have an issue where I can not seem to upload some of my photos. Are there any restrictions as to where you can upload from?
I can upload pictures from my camera no problem but if I try to upload any archived photos from any of my computer files, flash drive, cd/dvd disk etc it will allow me to browse and open the file. It will also allow me to upload/submit and even tells me that the upload was successful but instead of going to the second page where I can select and process, it takes me right back to the Banana Gallery image upload page. When I check my photo gallery, no new photos have been uploaded. I even experimented by trying to upload two photos - one picture from my camera and one from an archived computer file. Of the two, only the camera picture was uploaded.

What I am doing wrong? :(

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

picture size to big (in pixel) ? If not, send it to me. (see PM)

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

OK, the picture is too big

first one was : 3648x2736 - file size >2400 k
resized to: 1024x768 - file size now 300k
then uploaded to bananas.org with regular process


second was : 2736x3648 - file size >2400 k
resized to: 1024x1365 - file size now 370k
then uploaded to bananas.org with regular process


i use "The gimp" as free picture editor/resizer on my computer but i have just tested this Online resizer, seems good & simple to use.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

I was able to add a new Album (certain I did not know what I was doing). I have only been able to put one photo in it. I am so new to all of this. Please can someone help me figure this out. It has to be easier than it seems to me.

What max size should the photos be? But then it did take my first photo. Others same size?

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

to climb a new photo

If the lower page does not appear to process means that the picture is too high.

Good luck.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

AWESOME instructions! Thank You so much!!! Ok now, Looks like I did ok on most of this. Silly me, Looks like my one photo is toooo large. I am REALLY new at all this. Can you tell me what I need to use to make it the right size without losing the effect of the photo? Or tell me who I can talk to...I am not only a newbie to this site, but doing this sort of thing. Thanks for you patience & help in this. Love the site!! So much fantastic information!!

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

man do i feel real stupid.... can some1 please help me I can not post a picture to my thread....

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

Your "link" shows me that your image is still sitting on your computer's C drive; you have to upload it someplace on the WWW because, unless you've got some whacko spyware working in the background, you're the only person who can currently see your picture. Photobucket or some other photo posting site is one way; another is the gallery on this forum. Explore your gallery here; all of us have one. You can upload images easily there. Once it's "on the Net", you copy the code which is the new address/location and paste it in your thread. I'm terrible at explaining how to get the "link" information but someone else will do better I'm sure. Or if you say you have an image in your gallery, they'll post it for you.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

Eh. I've made 3 albums but none of have photos in them. I've selected photos from my computer to upload from my trip to India -twice - and nothing happened.

Yet there's a FaceBook page for bananas.org that seems to be dead in the water and it's easy to load photos on FB.

Not sure what the hell I'm doing wrong.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

I would say you are not compressing your photos for web pages
if you got a good camera that is probably the problem you are only allowed a certain size format here {5200k }so it has to be compressed
if you need more help yell at me.

Re: How to post images in your threads
 

I use tumblr.com
I upload my photos there then I link it here.
